THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Define the visible edge shape, turn or binding, stitch appearance and treatment of curves. Inspect the finished hem in the proposed fabric. A flat artwork edge does not show how the fabric will fold or gather in the actual garment.

A wider turned edge can change the look of a light skirt. Compare the silhouette and reverse finish rather than approving only a straight sample strip.
